2025 TT Results :

The 2025 Isle of Man TT Races were held over the 2 weeks of Monday 26th May 2025 – Saturday 7th June 2025.

With weeks of glorious weather in the run up to the event the 2025 races were plagued with inclement weather that hugely affected the Practice and Qualifying Sessions of Week 1.

The Bank Holiday Monday, 26th May 2025, should have been a full day’s practice however the weather had other ideas and only a newcomers speed controlled lap could be completed before the rest of the day was cancelled.

Tuesday’s practice went ahead for a full session, it was all untimed but did allow for full sessions for all the classes.

Wednesday was the first timed qualifying sessions, however Thursday was cancelled due to low cloud.

Friday’s session also got cancelled due to incoming rain.

Saturday’s sessions did get underway but had to be cancelled due to conditions in the Mountain, which deteriorated so much the sidecars had to be guided over the Mountain by the Travelling Marshals in a speed controlled session.

Sunday Race Day 01/06/2025 had to be rescheduled to allow for a double qualifying session, however before bikes even got onto the track that was re-jigged due to more incoming inclement weather.
